Abdias is Hebrew in Origin.
Abdias is the Latin and Romance form of the biblical name Obadiah, from Hebrew Ovadyah/Ovadya (עֹבַדְיָה), meaning “servant of Yah(weh)” or “worshipper of the LORD.” The Vulgate standardized the Latin Abdias, echoed by Greek Avdías (Αβδίας), all built on ‘eved “servant” + the theophoric Yah. As a theonym-bearing name, it conveys piety and devoted service.
Across history it referred to the minor prophet credited with the Book of Obadiah and appears in medieval church records via the Vulgate. Usage persisted in Iberia and Lusophone lands - Spanish Abdías and Portuguese Abdias - with occasional revival among Protestant and evangelical communities. Though uncommon today, it surfaces in France and Greece in scriptural contexts. Noted variants include Obadiah, Obadya/Ovadia, Abdías (Spanish), Abdias (Portuguese/French), Avdías (Greek), Abdiasz (Polish), and Abdia/Obadia (Italian). Feminine or diminutive forms are rare.
